Abstract	This document reports in three volumes the results of a series of surveys designed to: (1) determine what contribution intermediary information transfer organizations such as libraries and information analysis centers make to the value of information; (2) assess the value of two somewhat different software information analysis centers and the value of their products and services; and (3) investigate the importance of timeliness and comprehensiveness to the value of information found in technical reports and journal articles. Data were collected from six surveys. The first was a study of the population of scientists and engineers from nine fields of science conducted as part of a National Science Foundation study. It involved estimating many variables related to authorship, journal use, library use, numeric database searching, and bibliographic database searching. Demographic information identifies scientists and engineers funded by the Department of Energy (DOE). The second, a survey of managers, administrators, operational professionals, and scientists and engineers engaged in research and development at Rocky Flats, Rockwell Energy Systems Group, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), obtained information about general reading, library use, awareness of services, and satisfaction with services. In addition, four surveys were conducted at the three library locations to obtain detailed information about recent uses of specific library materials and services. Detailed analyses including numerous tables and figures present the findings of these studies. (THC)
